THE SCHOOL OF THE UNDEFEATED OF THE EAST!
THE WINDS OF THE KING!
ZENSHIN!
KEIRETSU!

And I now know why this moment is so memorable. It’s the apotheosis of Domon’s development (which leads to a pretty mindblowing moment for him later on), and marks the REAL END of G Gundam.

You can’t fake real emotion. Sure, you can force it Maeda Jun-style, but to elicit a real emotion that isn’t forcefed to you, that takes real storytelling.
